Does the mail bomb sent to cnn have an isis flag on it?

No post marks, they were never actually processed through USPS, they were delivered by hand

Per NY Times. "Though investigators initially believed that some of the packages were delivered by hand or courier, they have now concluded that all 10 were likely sent through the mail, a person briefed on the matter said."
 
Depends I guess. If they were sorted together on the front end, I'd think all or none would be cancelled/postmarked, or at least it wouldn't strike me as odd if all were treated similarly.

This has struck me as an odd concern all the way around. I can't figure out why it really matters. I'm sure if the FBI and Secret Service thinks they were delivered by courier, they're pursuing that lead with all they got. What's the point of saying they now believe them all mailed? This is Trump's FBI after all, so are they trying to not solve this case or something? I'm missing something somewhere.

If one has noticed, the FBI and Trump are not best of friends, it's more like it's the FBI he inherited, not his by choice.

I find other things odd, everyone is handling these packages and taking photographs. Every package suspected of containing a bomb that I have heard of - the bomb squad suits up, places it carefully in a blast container and sets off a second device to cause the original to blow up or be blown up. To me that is the normal action for suspected explosive devices. The casual way these have been handled seems almost as if they already knew they were harmless.

OK, so DEEP STATE? Makes no sense. It's to no one's advantage at FBI or SS to not find who did this. And I still can't figure out why it matters whether the packages were mailed or delivered by courier or why anyone would lie about it. Seems to me a case of assuming everyone in LE involved is telling the truth.

I get the impact for how they investigate - look at video cameras if courier - but can't figure out why some on here seem point to no postal marks or whatever as evidence of a conspiracy in LE of some kind. Professionally, I've known for decades some mail is not ever postmarked, so if I'm mailing something like a tax return or estimated payments or a response to IRS notices, where the date matters, I either get it certified and if not ask for a round stamp at the counter, so I know the mail carries the date.

We don't know when or who took the photos. In the early cases, maybe someone opened them up, and as I recall the Soros bomb was detonated on site as you suggest. But we've also heard reports of police evacuating buildings and surrounding areas so that's happening. I'm sure they're transporting them in blast-proof containers, and I'm betting the handlers are suited as you suggest.

Why would you put markings or a flag on an explosive? It's not like you're planning on someone seeing it and living to tell others what it looked like.
 
Damn, the Trump supporter who sent those bombs was also a member of ISIS? Thank you for the information. You learn something new every day.

One of at least five failed threads on this subject. Funny how they deny the obvious, even after solid evidence comes to the forefront.
